    摘要: The present invention relates to NICKEL-BASED ACTIVE MATERIAL PRECURSOR, METHOD OF PREPARING THE SAME, NICKEL-BASED ACTIVE MATERIAL, AND LITHIUM SECONDARY BATTERY. A nickel-based active material precursor for a lithium secondary battery includes: a secondary particle including a plurality of particulate structures, wherein each particulate structure includes a porous core portion and a shell portion, the shell portion including primary particles radially arranged on the porous core portion; and the secondary particle has a plurality of radial centers. When the nickel-based active material precursor is used, a nickel-based positive active material having a short lithium ion diffusion distance, in which intercalation and deintercalation of lithium are facilitated, may be obtained. A lithium secondary battery manufactured using the nickel-based active material may exhibit enhanced lithium availability, and may exhibit enhanced capacity and lifespan due to suppression of crack formation in the active material during charging and discharging.
